These have been my favourites as of late. Firstly, I've been really enjoying Brooklyn


Brooklyn IPA. One of the better IPAs I've had in quite some time. Really been loving this.


Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. 10% and, as you may be able to imagine, very heavy. It resembles a syrup when its poured. Definitely not one to stay on all night but it was rather nice.


Brooklyn Summer Ale. Crisper, lighter and great for a summer day. Had a day out recently in the sun and this one went down a treat.


Had my first Sam Adams the other day and really enjoyed that too. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for this from now on.


Flying Dog Snake Dog. Along with the Brooklyn, this has been my favourite IPA in recent weeks. Originally a barman suggested it so I tried it and have had it a couple of times since. Very nice.

And to think I used to think that Americans didn't produce much worth drinking. It turns out that we just didnt do a great job of stocking much of it over recent years. All of the above I have been impressed with. I've also been enjoying Blue Moon and recrently had a Sierra Nevada which was fine, it just didnt really stand out.

And last but not least...


Kraken rum. Tastes far too smooth to be true, but in fact it is true. I've been going nuts over this stuff.

Kristalweizen with delicious bubblegum, banana, clove, and cinnamon notes. It's my current session beer, loving it.

Have to give it a shot some time. Bubblegum notes? How awesome is that.

It varies. I'll only find them in places that stock imports, obviously, so they are never cheap. For those kind of bars though I'd probably be looking at somewhere between £3 and £4 which really isn't bad. The Chocolate Stout was about £5.50 which is very expensive but then again it is 10% and so I understand why they would charge more for it. They really don't need to even bother stocking it as it isn't gonna fly off the shelves.

The Flying Dog beers are all about £3.50 in the place I usually go to, which is by far my pub of choice and the best place around here for imports and a wide selection. In another place I go to I paid £5, so my place is more than acceptable.

Supermarket prices really arent bad either. I think 4 bottles of Blue Moon would set me back about £4 to drink at home. Not too shabby.

I bought it at Prague airport to get rid of the funny money I had in my wallet only judging it by the 38% vol! It's different to say the least. Like a more potent form of Thunderbirds (if anyone remembers that from days gone by) and:

This may be weak by my usual standards (about 4.4 vol) but it is obviously brewed with precision and at around 80p a time was well worth bringing a few back with me.

i am intrigued on this one



just finished a bottle of this....think i'll ride my bike to the movie theater
I can't help myself...I do love me some Shock Top. The Lemon Shandy Shock Top is good too.

As for the Karbach double IPA...well, I imagine you're a bit more seasoned when it comes to stronger beers. That one knocked my socks off, but you'd probably love it. Unfortunately I just felt like the amount of alcohol in it counter acted any good flavor that was there.

I am intrigued by this beauty you posted though, especially since Fred said it's a good summer beer. Always on the look out for a nice summer beer.
